Wolfowitz: It's Someone Else's Fault

World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz has blamed unclear rules for triggering questions about how he handled his girlfriend's hefty pay increases.

His claims come as a special Bank panel is putting together a report on whether Mr Wolfowitz acted properly over Shaha Riza's 2005 promotion and pay rise.

Two key figures from the bank's ethics committee have already told the panel Mr Wolfowitz acted incorrectly.

But, while Mr Wolfowitz has apologised he maintains he acted in good faith.
